 I'm not much for beating dead horses but will say that you have a light grasp of current events. Israhell has carried out multiple assassinations against Iranian citizens both in Iran and Syria for years and then finally bombed close to the Iranian embassy in Syria, so you will give them a pass for that? And there certainly is a connection between the Gaza invasion and Iranian retribution. Israhell thinks it is the big dog in the middle ease because it has had the backing of the collective West which has now been all but tapped out due to the massive influx of fake money and weapons to Ukraine. Iran's well constructed missile and drone attack was only a feinting action designed to discover and deplete Israeli defenses, in which Iran was successful. Israhell loses a war of attrition.

Anyway you have wandered off point, which was that hard money will decrease wars and bring peace. End of story.
